Democracy will not get us very far. The rulers control education, media, and entertainment. The popular ideas are necessarily their ideas. So asking the populace what to do abdicates responsibility.
One example: why is the demand to end US wars coupled with a demand for money for or population? Isn’t that a form of prejudice reflected in the wars? Why is the US populace so important?

America is the only country in the entire industrialized world without some form of universal health care. Even some countries in the Third World (such as Brazil) have at least some amount of healthcare for everyone. I don’t want free anything, Leia… I just want the US to join the rest of the western world when it comes to healthcare. Healthcare is a basic need, not a luxury for the rich. How moral is it to tell the poor to just go home and die? We can (and MUST) do better!

And how pray tell will the country be able to afford this? How high will taxes go? Will there be a VAT? And what drugs, treatments, etc will be banned to keep costs down? Will we be like England where preemies are left to die if they don’t meet a certain weight, or Canada where you have one MRI machine for hundreds of miles? Sorry, but I like our system. It has some flaws but don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Wed Oct. 19th 4-5 PM GMO Free Seattle will have a Rally at Westlake.
As a physician – yes we need universal single payer health care.
Rather than wait for this – be proactive and protect your health NOW.
Our rally will address the politics of the GMO issues that affect us daily as we eat all of us (see below)

Help us take back our food supply from Monsanto.
Monsanto own 90% of the seeds grown to product our food.
Monsanto has placed dozens of people in our current administration making policy
(i.e. Michael Taylor – former Monsanto lawyer in the FDA 20 yrs ago passed laws that said
GMOs are no different than regular food and never has to be researched.
Now he is the FDA safety czar in the Obama administration.
Come to the rally to hear about these issues.

90% of the food you and everyone eats thats not organic or labeled Non GMO (VERIFIED)
that contains chicken, turkey or beef or ingredients with soy (in everything), sugar (in everything),
corn or canola is genetically modified to affect your DNA and
has been likely sprayed with Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide.
70-80% of the non produce in our NATURAL Foods stores is GMO.
Come to the rally to hear internationally known speakers talk about the GMO issues,
getting GMOs labeled, and farming concerns

All people should have access to medical care. Medicare should be available to all people. But the real problem is the ridiculous medical costs and our crappy insurance companies. We should be able to research and choose our providers without the government or our insurance companies telling us who we can and can’t see.
We should really be questioning why medical care costs so much. We should be able to negotiate prices with our healthcare provider without going through a middle man.
We should realize that pharmaceuticals are making profits off of treatment instead of offering cures
we should support non-profit health care.

Universal “health” care is universal suicide.
We have a monopoly on health care now.
This monopoly makes billions of dollars while maintaining sickness so that they can profit.
We the people need to have the freedom to care for ourselves as we see fit. The idea of single payer is really a communist idea it seems.
Health and health care is being used to manipulate politically and control your freedom to be healthy.
The majority of health care offered through the system has little to do with health and more to do with control and making profits.
